Is the water clean at Paralia Krioneriou?
Thinking of swimming at Paralia Krioneriou? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Not classified — not enough samples in this year to assign an official rating. That rating is set once a year under the EU Bathing Water Directive, from a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli reported to the European Environment Agency the following spring, so the 2025 season's grade appeared in spring 2026 and the 2026 season won't be graded until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. There's parking about ~50 m from the beach.
Looking to avoid the busiest weeks? The water is typically warmest around August, with the most reliable swimming window running July–September; outside that stretch you'll find a cooler sea but a quieter beach. Paralia Krioneriou does not yet have enough classified seasons to describe a long-run trend. On site you'll find Toilets, Beach bar, and Parking. The nearest town, Προσκυνητές, is about ~5.9 km away.
Worth remembering: “Not classified” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions.
